Question 9 of 13
Which of the following statements is FALSE: The three causative factors that must be present for caries to occur are cariogenic microorganisms in plaque, cariogenic and fermentable carbohydrates, and a suseptible tooth and host The primary cariogenic microorganism found in plaque is S. mutans Cariogenic microorganisms break down sucrose to an acid that will increase the pH of plaque Demineralization of the tooth depends upon how long and how frequently the acid is in contact with the tooth surface
